good deal?
What do you guys think? $250 shipped is it a good deal? less than a year old, does it look like its badly beaten?

RE: No, this is not a which is a better MT thread!
The savage is built for abuse :-) the thing i like about the savage is theres no engine limitation i mean you can put any big block you want with out worrying about the drive line or buying a special mount.. :-) i regret selling my savage X and XL, now i have a revo and i am considering of getting a savage X :-) IMO i'll sell the tmaxx and get a savage you wont regret it :-) h one more thing the only down side of the savage is the handling but you can improve it but you have to spend a little more but hey its a monster truck.....who cares about handling LOL...
